She was driven to despair completely and had to keep hope in the following life, by dreaming to become a butterfly and be together with Liang life after life.
The heavens took pity, and the tomb opened up itself as if to receive her. She threw herself in to join her loved one in death[6][P5].

What people saw next was a pair of beautiful butterflies flying out of the opening, dancing happily here and there in the free air signifying the happy reunion of the troubled two, but only in death.

3.3 The differences of the characters between these two pairs    
As we know, a person’s behavior, thinking, and even the moral quality, are all formed by the influence of culture[15][P35]. The cultural discrepancy between western countries and China brought about different characterizations. The author of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare, was the most outstanding writer in the period of the English Renaissance. And the feature of the English Renaissance was humanity, which encouraged human being to enjoy the happiness in this life[16][P31]. But in China, the feudalism suppressed humanity completely. Therefore, if we compare Liang and Zhu with Romeo and Juliet, we shall find the Chinese lovers were more reticent and the western pair more outspoken. Both the western and the Chinese heroines love the heroes, but Juliet was straightforward while Zhu was reserved. Zhu fell in love with Liang at first sight, and in the following three years, they both studied together, lived together, but Zhu was still chaste. Educated by the traditional ethics, she could not bravely express her love to Liang like Juliet. On the other hand, Liang complied with the ancestors’ instruction, and paid all his attention to study. He did not fight for his love and pursue his own and Zhu’s happiness like Romeo at all[17][P131]. However, Liang gave his life for missing and love finally.

4. Play construction
Finally, the study of the play organization or construction also opens a window for a better understanding of these two love tragedies. We will look into how each story developed, and how the pace of development conformed to their individual theme presentation.

4.1 The development of the conflict in Romeo and Juliet
After the dance party finished, Romeo sneaked into Juliet’s garden and expressed his love to her without reservation, even did not care that the members of Juliet’s family would kill him. Fortunately, his love gained Juliet’s reply. She also accepted his love without giving any thought to restraint. They made a solemn pledge of love to each other. Until now, their love had not been infringed and obstructed. But they not only pursue a temporary happiness, what they want was to love each other forever. Therefore, they decided to get married secretly and waited for a chance to leave their hometown. And with the help of Priest Laurence, they had their dream come true and held a simple wedding. If there were not any misfortune, everything would become quiet and go well. But something happened.英语作文
